Which sport requires more stamina--Boxing or Tennis?

Answer 1

they require different types of stamina........in boxing, you're taking shots as well as bouncing around and trying to "knock out" the other person.......

in tennis, the area you have to cover is greater and therefore serving and volleying takes more wind to will your body to move the distances and then still be able to make a play on the ball with the racket.......although, they seem amazingly similar (great comparison btw), there's just enough difference to declare a "draw" in this instance

Answer 2

Boxing: This is because you have another human equal to your weight pushing on you. You need to carry your weight and the other athlete’s weight.

In some sports there are mini rest periods when the athlete does not go 100%. Sports like Boxing, the athlete in not in full control in of the action. Part of the strategy in Boxing is to get your opponent to run out of gas. One of the most famous examples is when Ali fought George Forman in Manila. Stamina is a big part of Boxing.

Answer 3

As someone put it recently...

Hold your arms up away from your chest. For three straight minutes.

Take a minute off, and do it again. And again. And again. For close to an hour (12 rounds times 3 minutes).

Oh, and throw punches along the way, and get hit along the way.

Tennis can be tough, particularly on hot days and during five-set matches. But I'd give the edge to boxing.

Answer 4

I'd say tennis. Boxing is, at most, 15 2-minute rounds with a minute of rest in between each round, but tennis matches can go on for hours. There's a lot more running involved in tennis as well, and tennis players may not use their arms as much as boxers but they still use them.

Answer 5

Tough one but i would have to say Boxing.
